5.0 out of 5 stars
An AWESOME introduction to MSVC++ 6!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual C++ 6 Programming Blue Book: The Complete, Fast-Paced Way to Master Visual C++ 98 (Paperback)
I recently bought MSVC++ 6 so I could learn how to develop programs for Windows. Well, I was completely stumped at first, not knowing how API or MFC worked at all. After ordering this book, I was creating applications for windows and modifying them and _understanding_ it in only a couple days! This book is amazingly well-written and the examples are fun. The book has a wonderful layout and explains everything very well. I definite must for a Visual C++ beginner.

This review is from: Visual C++ 6 Programming Blue Book: The Complete, Fast-Paced Way to Master Visual C++ 98 (Paperback)
This book is THE book to start out with in Visual C++ 6. It is a fast-paced book that teaches by a "what's this button do?" system. Instead of building an infamous "hello world!" application first, you actually get to build your own text editor (NotePod) that beats the pants off of Windows' Notepad. This is a book I would reccommend to anyone interested in Visual C++ 6 or anyone that was interested in programming in general. However, as is with most computer languages, you musn't get the idea you will make excellent programs that will sell immediately. That takes time and more information that can be included in an introductory book. The book doesn't go as deep as one might hope, but it still is an excellent choice for a book to get aquainted with the Visual C++ enviroment and commands.

An excellent well written and well thought-out book!,
By Richard Hayden (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visual C++ 6 Programming Blue Book: The Complete, Fast-Paced Way to Master Visual C++ 98 (Paperback)
I recently decided to learn Visual C++ 6, after finding that there are some limitations to what can be done in Visual Basic. I have been trying to learn from tutorials etc. on the web but they always seem to be unfinished or not cover all of the important stuff. I am only 15 so I thought it was quite a challenge for me to try and learn this so called complex and confusing language. I had taken the foresight before reading this of learning the C++ language and think that that is a must before attempting this book, or Visual C++ at all.After reading that book, I have a solid understanding of the Windows APIs and can use the MFCs reasonably confidently. I would still class myself as a beginner, but at least now I have a starting point and hopefully can pick-up the rest as I go along. Even after the first 10 pages, I could see that this book was well written and the information inside of it would be easy to take in and understand. If for some reason you wish to contact me, then you may do so at r_hayden@breathemail.net.
